American Me - Exposition

Yeah

(Sound the alarm)

Oh say can you see?

(Check ignition)

This is American Me

(Three-Two-One-Blast off)

Where there’s a dashboard Jesus

I bet you see

'Support Our Troops' Magnet

Stuck to the SUV

But when they perish the petroleum

You got it see

You drive around a

Gas guzzling hyprocrisy

Sponsored by this oil barron

Theocracy

Trying to pass it’s self

Off as a Democracy

But they cut it up

And glued it back sloppily

And when I point it out

He don’t want to talk to me!

He just go out the TV

And say it’s all about the morals

In 2006 yo it’s all about the Euros

It’s all about the dollars

It makes me want to holler

In a land where a fool

Makes a peasant of a scholar

No futur for me here

I got to find a nw place

Practice my accent

And move to the UK

But then again who’s to say

It’s any different over there?

When the world is dominated

By mongers of fear

I’m so American

I think I have all the answers

I’m so American

That I would sell you cancer

I’m so American

That I would sell you the cure for cancer

After I sold you cancer

I’m so American!

I have all your answers

I’m so American

Bitch I would sell you cancer

I’m so American

Sure I could sell you the cure for cancer

But only after I sold you cancer

A college graduate

Business major

Somebody owes her Daddy

A big big favor

So they

Give her a job in

A tall high rise

She feels successful

Sitting in the skyline

9−5 in the cubicle cell

High heels, work suit

Flag on the lapel

Yo, she grows accustomed

To the the awkward jargon

As American as apple pie

Charts and profit margins

After work, she’s chilling

At the social club

Where national suits

Get a lot of local love

With bank accounts

And cauldron homes

But she’s up to her eyebrows

In college loans

Now she wants to

Get a little status of her own

But most of all

She wants to show her

Daddy that she’s grown

So she goes out and leases

A brand new Beemer

But she can’t afford

Gasolin-Ah!

I’m so American

I re-tell history told

I’m so American

I’m worth more than

My weight in gold

I’m so American

Yeah from high up

On my throne

I decide who’s illegal

On land that I stole

I’m so American

I re-tell history told

I’m so American

I’m worth more than

My weight in gold

I’m so American

I’m so goddamn bold

I tell your mother

She’s illegal

Then pay her to clean my home

Man acquires pills

So he can get his dick up

But those pills

Make his heart rate quicker

So now he needs

Heart rate medication

But that medication

Gives him constipation

So now he needs

Something to help him

Get his shit out

He asks the doctor

He said 'No get out'

Doc has no problem

Filling the prescriptions

Because pharmaceutical

Companies give him a commission

Off every single pill

He give to the man

So he doses him

With as much dope as he can

He said: 'Kind sir

Let me ask you a question

Have you ever had a problem

Dealing with depression?'

The man says «Of course

Yo I can’t shit or fuck

And my heart don’t work

It’s like I’m shit out of luck'

«Well I got a lot of patients

With the same exact problem

They take these pills

And normally it solves him'

«Hey you’re the doctor —

I guess I’ll try it»

And now he feasts daily

On a 20 pill diet

End of the month

Insurance sends him his bill

He adds it up and down

And his pride feels ill

He pulls out his checkbook

And feels like a dummy see

All four pills

Are made by the same company
